IMPACT

We're almost halfway to our goal!

November 05, 2014

Thank you for helping the Fowler Museum bring the art of cycling and photography to UCLA! We’re proud to share that our first-ever crowd funding campaign is off to a great start: after just 5 days, we’ve already reached 48% of our goal and raised a total of $3,610. We could not have come this far, this fast without you.

We have one more favor to ask: help us spread the word! Share your support on Facebook and Twitter using #roundtrip. Here’s a sample message to copy, paste and personalize: “I donated to bring the art of cycling and photography to the Fowler Museum at UCLA! Visit spark.ucla.edu/roundtrip to learn more and participate in #roundtrip”

Thanks again!

WE DID IT WITH YOUR HELP!

December 02, 2014

We are proud to share that we have already exceeded our goal to raise $7,500! Thank you for your generous support of our Round Trip campaign. Because of you, we will be able to fully realize this fantastic exhibition, offer exceptional arts education programs, and host a celebration for the exhibition and cycling in our LA community, with programs designed for cyclists of all ages.

Funds raised above $7,500 will provide support for additional educational programs and bus transportation for hundreds of school children to visit the Fowler Museum exhibitions.

We look forward to fulfilling your perks beginning in January. Once again, thank you for helping us bring the art of cycling and photography to UCLA. We couldn’t have done it without you!
